4. Highlighting our Partnerships

OPA was joined by 15 Marquette colleagues for a tour at the newly opened building for The Water Council, located at 247 West Freshwater Way in Milwaukee. The building is designed to house various companies, researchers, entrepreneurs and graduate students whose work focuses on water in various capacities. The Water Council Mission is "to align the regional fresh water research community and water-related industries to establish the Milwaukee region as the World Water Hub for water research, economic development, and education." Marquette University's Water Quality Center, from the College of Engineering, and Political Science Professor Dr. McGee Young's company H20Score, work closely with The Water Council and participate in the discussions about water. This unique collaborative environment is an opportunity for all Marquette community members to broaden the classroom experience about water research and global water issues. For more information about connecting with The Water Council, please contact OPA at 288-7491.

The purpose of this bi-monthly newsletter is to inform Marquette community members on the government affairs and community relations work from the Office of Public Affairs. Email OPA for suggestions on content or for more information on a posting.
